Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
Using hospital protocol for ordering a diagnostic test, determining how often vital signs are monitored, and deciding on the medication dose would be the physician's responsibility. However, following blood pressure monitoring recommendations would be part of evidence-based practice reflected in the nursing care delivered.

Answer to Question 2

A
Response:
From 30 to 120 minutes of age, the newborn enters the second stage of transition, that of sleep or a decrease in activity. More information would be needed to determine if hypoglycemia, a physiologic abnormality, or inadequate oxygenation was present.
